| | I had quite an odyssey getting a virus program to actually work under Vista without killing it in some way. See the tread I posted about this experience. http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic71197-15-1.aspx I suggest looking into a program called QuickHeal. It was developed with cooperation from Microsoft to make it work well with Vista. It's super fast and highly effective: nabbed a Trojan loader the first morning when I booted up.. It's basically free for 30 days with a small up front fee and no recurring costs from what I could tell... |

| | Attention WARNING: If you are using Windows Vista (SP1) and any other firewall than the Windows Firewall, then a VPN WILL NOT WORK from your computer. This has been demonstrated with Zone Alarm and some other third party firewalls. I have seen this problem with some of my co-workers' computers. Microsoft says that it is up to the firewall vendors to "fix" their code, while Zone Alarm says that it is up to Microsoft to "fix" their code. Therefore, it may be a long while before this is resolved.

| I am actually using 3 firewalls on my system...I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Firewall and Windows Defender active. I am also using McAfee Security Center 2008 with the firewall active and finally I am using BitDefender Total Security 2009 with the firewall active. They all run in tandem with each other and are not a resource hog. On a side note, I am running a IP Scattering program to hide my IP address from prying eyes..(lol) I agree with the fact that Zone Alarm needs to get there act together and make it Vista Compatible.
System: HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC, AMD Turion 64X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 ghz, 2.00 gb ddr2 ram, nvidia Geforce 8400M GS and 250 gb Seagate HDD....... |
